Maple Leafs Weigh Major Offseason Roster Moves

The Toronto Maple Leafs are preparing for a transformative offseason following another playoff disappointment, with major changes to their roster under consideration. Mitch Marner, set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, is drawing strong interest from teams such as the Anaheim Ducks and Vegas Golden Knights, though he retains control over his future and has previously blocked trades. Management, led by GM Brad Treliving, is evaluating multiple scenarios involving Marner, while possible trades of William Nylander and even captain Auston Matthews are being discussed. Longtime defenseman Morgan Rielly has also emerged as a potential trade asset. The Leafs are expected to free up significant salary cap space, which could allow them to pursue players like Florida's Sam Bennett. Leadership is aiming to reshape the roster in pursuit of greater playoff success.
